Picked up for distribution, MPAA rating
Paul T. Scheuring of Prison Break fame takes a crack at a remake of Das Experiment in the aptly titled The Experiment starring Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker and Cam Gigandet. Columbia Pictures is taking this one out to theaters and the MPAA recently gave it an R rating for “strong disturbing violence including a rape, language, some sexual content and nudity.”

While we await a release date. Here’s a revised synopsis and some teaser art.

26 men are chosen to act the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study. Values are tested and lines are crossed when seemingly normal participants are pushed to the breaking point as the experiment spirals out of control..
